Hmm, this one will be a challenge. This restaurant chain went out of business in the 1980's. Maybe still have a Mobil in the same location, though. #geolocation #spinaltap

“It’s like, how much more green could this be? And the answer is none. None more green.”

Six-spotted Green Tiger Beetle

Looking down onto an extremely metallic looking emerald green beetle in a small clump of dirt along a stone wall. It looks more like jewelry or a toy than a living organism.

#8TrackTuesday #Punk #NowPlaying #8TrackCartridge #8TrackTape

Were the Connecticut #HardcorePunk band #ViolentChildren the first to release a self-consciously retro #8Track release? I do believe so. This was originally issued in December 1988. Mass production of 8-track tapes had ceased by then, so each tape had to be duped/hand-spliced on to blank, dead stock cartridges by the label owner himself. It was a perverse joke; what self-respecting punk ever owned an 8-track player?

Other bands would latch on to this idea in the ensuing decade - notably #SpinalTap, who released a promo 8-track of their 1992 "Break Like The Wind" album. But for a moment let's acknowledge the foresight of Violent Children. United Nutmeg forever!
